I’m perfectly happy to interact with you in the most affectionate internet style possible, Nigel (in deference to your complaint, I’ll call you Nigel from now on, though I note your stony silence on “Jom,” “Jimmy,” “Carroll” and “Shaw,” presumably because you think that it’s fine for your forum ally to piss around with our names but not fine for us to piss around with yours. Hmm...).
I have commented on this in the past, quite clearly: (Post Brexit life in UK 1/10/17 11:20
I am not supporting those who miss-use Jim's given name. I'm pointing out that Jim, or yourself, should conduct yourselves in the way you expect others to conduct themselves. I do not address comments to "Jom" or "Carroll" and I can understand why he gets annoyed with those who do. But he can hardly complain about it if he does the same for the names of others. (Such as calling Theresa May "Mayflower"). I was pointing out his double standards in this respect.
The fact that you responded to that comment suggests that you read it. You have also, in the past, objected to others responding to you just as 'Shaw', but see no problem with adjusting my name to fit in with your preferences. More double standards.
Also I have no “forum ally”. My posts represent my thinking, and I would not have it any other way.


“You have totally failed to address any of the instance I have quoted of your misuse of the English language...”
We’ll just allow the irony of that sentence to stand, shall we, Nigel?
Yet it still remains true!
